The Senate passed fool resolution yester-
day to the effect that somebody or other

them in both instances. Three judges of the
Supreme Court told them how, and how only,
they can contest the election Of Leutenant-
governor Robertson. When they get ready to
do that, the first step of. which is to recognize

THE Democratic revolutionists have made

The Democratic reyolutionists have made
two unsuccessful attempts to drag the Supreme
Court into the mire of politics, and to use it
for partisan purposes. First they tried to get
a decision restraining the Secretary of State
from delivering the election returns to the
Speaker of the House, as the Constitution re-
quires him to do The court declined TO issue
the order or to take jurisdiction of the case,
and for this the Sentinel exclaimed, damn
their cowardly souls" Subsequently Green
Smith applied to tho inferior court for an

The tomtit chairman Of the Senate election
committee said, yesterday, that they would
not report on Senator Kennedy'sS case for a
day or two, and, if the Republicans showed a
disposition to act fairly, nothing would be
done with the case at present We do not
know what is meant by the Republicans act
ing 'fairly;" but if the tomtit, or anybody
else, is harboring the impression that under
any circumstances the House Of Representa-
tives will recede from its position, or the Re-
publicans Of the Senate either, theyare lying
under mistake. They had better report on
Senator Kennedy's case at once, or any other
Senator'S case. The Republicans would be
highly delighted if the Democrats would
unseat more Senators. We invite them, with
great cordiality and earnestness, to begin the
process as soon as they feel like it.

THE QUESTION ILLUSTRATED.

The demand of the Sentinel that the Judges
of the Supreme Court shall commit perjury,
by violating their official oaths, and volunteer
an opinion whore they have no power to de-
eide is monstrous and villainous.
The question before the court was one Of
power, and having determined that they had
no power the judges could not without moral,
if not legal perjury, go further. few plain
illustrations will show the question in its
true light. The law gives the Criminal
Court jurisdiction only in prosecutions Cor

the judge of that court if he should,
after avowing that he had no jurisdiction,

The petition for a rehearing, prepared by
the attorneys for the revolutionists, opens as
follows:
1--WE concede the doctrine stated in the
opinion Of the court, that the question of ju-
risdiction is one among other things Of power
A court in passing upon such a question must
have not only the mental and moral capacity to
form and express an opinion, but also some
statutory or common law power to do So"
This seems to have been deliberately framed
as an insult to the court The court would
be justified in striking such pleading from
the files and citing its author for contempt.
Perhaps, however, as the court ignored the

may take the same view of this, and consider

THE DEADLOCK.

The Legislature is in deadlock. The
House has declared that it will hold no official
communication with the Senate until Lieu
tenant-governor Robertson is recognized as
President Of the Senate, according to the
Constitution. AS matter of courtesy and
public convenience the House continued to
recognize the Senate pending the decision of
the Supreme Court. It can do so no longer.
The decision Of the court makes it obligatory
on the House to assert the rights of the
acknowledgement against revolutionary
majority Of the Senate. The Senate, under
the presidency of Green Smith, with the
Lieutenant governor excluded from the chair,
is in state of revolution. It is a mere mob.
The House would stultify itself and members
would be recreant TO their duty and their
oaths if they recognized it. But Green
Smith and his hackers refuse to yield, and
there is deadlock. All legislation is sus-
pended, owing to his usurpation and the
refusal of the Democrats to submit to the
decision of the Supreme Court and recognize
the right Of the people and the constitutional
right Of the Acknowledgements. The peo-
pie will place the responsibility for tie situa-
ton where it belongs. The House will recog-
nize the Senate so soon as the latter body
recognizes its rightful President. When the
usurpation ceases the deadlock will come to
an end, and not till then.

order restraining Colonel Robertson from per-
forming the duties of acknowledgement
knowing that if granted the case would be
appealed to the Supreme Court, and hoping to
bring the court, by partisan pressure, to favor
able decision. In this, also, the Democrats
failed, the court bravely standing by the land
marks of constitutional law. Thus the revo-
lutionists were disappointed and the Supreme
Court escaped the prostitution intended for it.
